Yes, there is only history.
As long as the facts are correct, then what is left is perspectives.
One perspective should not rank higher than another.
Telling history from the perspective of millions of victims, has often been degraded as Marxist and therefore less valuable.
The reality?
As the name famine already suggests, it is man-made, and not entirely natural.
Even worse than that, it would have been easy to avoid millions of deaths. Maybe not every death, but certainly many.
With a pot of ink and a table.
Certainly, even with a war going on (like during the 1943 famine, the most powerful empire in the world should have been able to do that.
Line up the people, sell them a few kilos of rice/food at a government set price, finger in the pot, on your way.
Note also, when food shortages did seem imminent or predictable for themselves, like during WW1 and WW2, food rationing was introduced. Strange, that it wasn't left to market forces to sort that out.
So much for the well, we didn't know it was going to be so bad-excuses.
But, of course Operation Legacy meant winners can sink evidence of crimes to the bottom of the deepest oceans, or burn it, with instructions to ensure that ashes are ground to dust, and are not readable.
I wonder what evidence was so embarrassing, that it had to be burnt to cinders? The construction of roads and schools maybe?
Luckily for the British and their popular or narrative history, most people are biased.
Most people consider it not so bad letting people die of starvation, as opposed to actively murdering them. I assume, to the victim the effect is the same (perspective. You die.
A bias known as omission bias, and it's easy to fool people.

He was a very fortunate man. He made a mess of the Turkish campaign, staggered through the thirties and got a break later in life. From 1941, he was a front man for the American's and their plan to liberate Europe.
He was however a very convincing orator.

My favourite thing about him is during the Bengal famine in India when he was exporting food out of India, and conscious stricken officials wrote to him he wrote back Why hasn't Gandhi died yet.

The man was a racist and a bigot and should have been charged for crimes against humanity for the famine in Bengal and partition of the subcontinent! I read millions died. Shame on him!

I used to think highly of him, but no more. That part about him knowing the future would have gotten him burned at the stake if he hasnt been born a noble.

The writers conveniently skipped the part when he had some four million Indians killed, but hey, he won the war, so it was okay. Somehow.

At the very beginning they neglected to give the years for the first time he was Prime minister which were 1940 to 1945. Not just 1951-55.

FACTS? You didn't even get the dates correct! Did an adult review this video prior to release? Best of luck, but this is rather awful.

I am confused about the seaplane part. The first practical seaplane was built by Glenn Curtis in the United States in 1911.

I heard he didn't have to wash his hands.
I also heard he used to drink a quart of Brandy before breakfast.
